A dispatch from Buffalo, N. T.. says
DR. Mc9lynik lectured In this city Thurs
day night ON sfThe Gross of the New
Crusade In an interview, 10 answer TO
a question as TO whether he intended
going to Rome, he said
II really have nothing wish 20 say
on that matter. It has been stated on
certain authority that would be tsron,
municated II did not appear before lnly
I'd OF course l could not get thereby
that time, and 1 have not thought cf
doing 30, Indeed, deny the authofitS
Of those people who summoned me 60
Rome. The only order promulgated
which, 1t was said, called me TO Rome,
was sent out by the secretary of Arch
bishop Oorrigan. j have never made
anything Of that nature public. have
been modest about obtruding my. per
sonal affairs before the public, and | do
not wish TO do 80 now. am lecturing

making allusions TO eoolesiastical affairs

/ have not appealed TO Rome from Arch
bishop Oorrigan's sentence, nor do !
know that am compelled to appeal. The
New York papers have printed statements
that would appeal, and ! presumed il
was SO understood. When Archbishop
Oorrigan interferred with my attendance
at the Ohickering hall meeting he at
tempted TO violate my rights as citizen.
So far as going to Rome Ia concerned,
could not get there now. In the good
old days of Calico they could take lay
man to Rome In chains for what they
think am guilty of. The Roman author
tiles will ultimately learn by bitter exper-
ience their own spiritual business at home
and TO interfere less with politics in Ire
land, America and other countries, unless
in the graveet cases of clear departure
from the unquestioned dogmatic t>Ach-
ings Of the church.
tiThe dissemination has been made in
advance by Cardinal Simeoni and the
Pope that they were not to confer with
me, nor even try me, but TO punish, hui
initiate, and condemn me. Few know, as
do, the merciless and obstinate consist
ency of the Roman ecclesiastical machine
| in sticking to errors Of policy and poll
| tics when they are in the interest and am
bition Of temporal power, even OF the ex-
pense of sacrificing the facts and religions
of whole nations, and opposing the most
| natural aspirations of the people for
| national development, scientific progress,
and national liberty. An archbishop you
may remember, WINS summoned to Rome,
| not for consultation, but simply 10 be
| snubbed and in-uitud by the Pope. am
Il not so foolish or presumptuous rs to sup
| pose that arguments can diminish the
| stupidity, enlighten the gross ignorance,
or bend the obstinaey of that relentlese
l machine. This can be done only by great
providential changes that will break ,orush
4 and impoyerish the Roman machine and
reduce theRoman bishop tothe simplicity
of a Leo 1. The Roman machine is aiix-
ious to have an accredited ambassador
at Washington, who would be in the
Italian ring, and his presence would a
fruitful source of corruption and enslave-
ment to the Catholic church Of this
country. The policy Of the church now
is to toady to the proud and wealthy,
and kick the lowly in the mouth. at
Rome they are laughing in their sleeves
at us for our excessive submissiveneas 10
their power and for our excessive gener-
osity in contributing the Peters pence to
the support of the whole army of lackeyss,
and flunkies, both lay and clerical, who
surround the Pope with barbario pomp
scarcely equaled by that of nny imperial
despotic court"
DIR. MeGlynn also said that the anti
poverty movement was growing rapidly.
